< Numbers 30 >

1 Then Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:
וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶל־רָאשֵׁי הַמַּטּוֹת לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָֽה׃
2 If a man makes a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word; he must do everything he has promised.
אִישׁ כִּֽי־יִדֹּר נֶדֶר לַֽיהֹוָה אֽוֹ־הִשָּׁבַע שְׁבֻעָה לֶאְסֹר אִסָּר עַל־נַפְשׁוֹ לֹא יַחֵל דְּבָרוֹ כְּכׇל־הַיֹּצֵא מִפִּיו יַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
3 And if a woman in her father’s house during her youth makes a vow to the LORD or obligates herself by a pledge,
וְאִשָּׁה כִּֽי־תִדֹּר נֶדֶר לַיהֹוָה וְאָסְרָה אִסָּר בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ בִּנְעֻרֶֽיהָ׃
4 and her father hears about her vow or pledge but says nothing to her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
וְשָׁמַע אָבִיהָ אֶת־נִדְרָהּ וֶֽאֱסָרָהּ אֲשֶׁר אָֽסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ וְהֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ אָבִיהָ וְקָמוּ כׇּל־נְדָרֶיהָ וְכׇל־אִסָּר אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ יָקֽוּם׃
5 But if her father prohibits her on the day he hears about it, then none of the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand. The LORD will absolve her because her father has prohibited her.
וְאִם־הֵנִיא אָבִיהָ אֹתָהּ בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ כׇּל־נְדָרֶיהָ וֶֽאֱסָרֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ לֹא יָקוּם וַֽיהֹוָה יִֽסְלַח־לָהּ כִּי־הֵנִיא אָבִיהָ אֹתָֽהּ׃
6 If a woman marries while under a vow or rash promise by which she has bound herself,
וְאִם־הָיוֹ תִֽהְיֶה לְאִישׁ וּנְדָרֶיהָ עָלֶיהָ אוֹ מִבְטָא שְׂפָתֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָֽׁהּ׃
7 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her on that day, then the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
וְשָׁמַע אִישָׁהּ בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ וְהֶחֱרִישׁ לָהּ וְקָמוּ נְדָרֶיהָ וֶֽאֱסָרֶהָ אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ יָקֻֽמוּ׃
8 But if her husband prohibits her when he hears of it, he nullifies the vow that binds her or the rash promise she has made, and the LORD will absolve her.
וְאִם בְּיוֹם שְׁמֹעַ אִישָׁהּ יָנִיא אוֹתָהּ וְהֵפֵר אֶת־נִדְרָהּ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיהָ וְאֵת מִבְטָא שְׂפָתֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ וַיהֹוָה יִֽסְלַֽח־לָֽהּ׃
9 Every vow a widow or divorced woman pledges to fulfill is binding on her.
וְנֵדֶר אַלְמָנָה וּגְרוּשָׁה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ יָקוּם עָלֶֽיהָ׃
10 If a woman in her husband’s house has made a vow or put herself under an obligation with an oath,
וְאִם־בֵּית אִישָׁהּ נָדָרָה אֽוֹ־אָסְרָה אִסָּר עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ בִּשְׁבֻעָֽה׃
11 and her husband hears of it but says nothing to her and does not prohibit her, then all the vows or pledges by which she has bound herself shall stand.
וְשָׁמַע אִישָׁהּ וְהֶחֱרִשׁ לָהּ לֹא הֵנִיא אֹתָהּ וְקָמוּ כׇּל־נְדָרֶיהָ וְכׇל־אִסָּר אֲשֶׁר־אָסְרָה עַל־נַפְשָׁהּ יָקֽוּם׃
12 But if her husband nullifies them on the day he hears of them, then nothing that came from her lips, whether her vows or pledges, shall stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the LORD will absolve her.
וְאִם־הָפֵר יָפֵר אֹתָם ׀ אִישָׁהּ בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעוֹ כׇּל־מוֹצָא שְׂפָתֶיהָ לִנְדָרֶיהָ וּלְאִסַּר נַפְשָׁהּ לֹא יָקוּם אִישָׁהּ הֲפֵרָם וַיהֹוָה יִֽסְלַֽח־לָֽהּ׃
13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow or any sworn pledge to deny herself.
כׇּל־נֵדֶר וְכׇל־שְׁבֻעַת אִסָּר לְעַנֹּת נָפֶשׁ אִישָׁהּ יְקִימֶנּוּ וְאִישָׁהּ יְפֵרֶֽנּוּ׃
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, then he confirms all the vows and pledges that bind her. He has confirmed them, because he said nothing to her on the day he heard about them.
וְאִם־הַחֲרֵשׁ יַחֲרִישׁ לָהּ אִישָׁהּ מִיּוֹם אֶל־יוֹם וְהֵקִים אֶת־כׇּל־נְדָרֶיהָ אוֹ אֶת־כׇּל־אֱסָרֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיהָ הֵקִים אֹתָם כִּי־הֶחֱרִשׁ לָהּ בְּיוֹם שׇׁמְעֽוֹ׃
15 But if he nullifies them after he hears of them, then he will bear her iniquity.”
וְאִם־הָפֵר יָפֵר אֹתָם אַחֲרֵי שׇׁמְעוֹ וְנָשָׂא אֶת־עֲוֺנָֽהּ׃
16 These are the statutes that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the relationship between a man and his wife, and between a father and a young daughter still in his home.
אֵלֶּה הַֽחֻקִּים אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה בֵּין אִישׁ לְאִשְׁתּוֹ בֵּֽין־אָב לְבִתּוֹ בִּנְעֻרֶיהָ בֵּית אָבִֽיהָ׃
